What are your thoughts about yinyoga and people with the Ehlers danlos syndrome?
I have had one student with this syndrome in my yin class.
At first she felt a little insecure in letting go in the poses but felt good about it afterwards.
When I adviced her yang yoga she said that the idea of contracting the muscles spoke to her less because of a history of having always been so tensed in the muscles because of fear that her joints would fall apart.
What would you suggest. Try and experiment?
She also mentioned having no collagen in her connective tissue?
May I point you to an article I wrote on this topic? It is called Hypermobility and Yoga. In it I do talk a bit about EDS. Please read that and let me know if you still have any questions.
